1. Are you talking about <jar> the task or jar the command line? Ant has
its own implementation of zip/jar and does not use the JRE; behaviour
should be consistent on both boxes.
2. are both boxes configured not just with different clocks, but with
the correct time zones? Ant -diagnostics works out the timezone of a box
as far as java is concerned.
